The Rise of a Modern Icon

In the evolving world of specialty coffee, Gesha Peru stands as a quiet yet unmistakable symbol of modern refinement. Its beauty is not rooted in rarity alone, but in an elegance so natural and understated that it feels timeless. This is a coffee that reveals itself slowly — with confidence shaped not by volume, but by clarity, balance, and emotional depth.

Gesha Peru reflects a new way of appreciating coffee: one that seeks nuance over intensity, transparency over spectacle, and an authentic connection to origin. It is a cup that invites you to pause, to listen, and to discover the sincerity held within each gentle layer.

The Origin — Why Peru Gives Gesha a Voice of Its Own

In the high Andes of San Ignacio, Cajamarca, between 1,750 and 2,000 meters, Gesha finds a terroir that nurtures exceptional balance and purity. Cool winds, volcanic soils, and slow-ripening conditions create an environment where aromatics develop with remarkable depth.

Smallholder farmers cultivate with organic methods and selective handpicking, preserving the varietal’s delicate structure. Their stewardship gives Gesha Peru a distinctive identity: softly floral, naturally sweet, and grounded in the calm rhythm of the Andes.

The Character — What Makes Gesha Peru Truly Distinct

Gesha Peru carries a personality that feels refined yet disarmingly gentle.
Its distinction lies in three defining qualities:

Aroma and Purity

Jasmine, white florals, and lifted aromatics rise with remarkable transparency. Stone fruits — apricot and plum — emerge softly, supported by a sweetness that feels luminous rather than heavy.

Elegance in Structure

Instead of sharp, angular acidity, Gesha Peru moves in quiet gradients. Its brightness glows with calm precision, while its sweetness rests lightly on the palate, tapering into a long, clean finish.

Emotional Resonance

This is a coffee that seeks connection, not attention. The more intentionally you taste, the more it reveals — subtle shifts, delicate transitions, and a presence that stays long after the cup cools.

Gesha Peru embodies the essence of modern specialty: minimal, articulate, and deeply expressive.

The Craft — How Its Elegance Is Brought to Life

Washed processing preserves Gesha Peru’s floral clarity and clean structure through careful fermentation and slow drying.

In the roastery, Guru brings the coffee’s character into full expression. Using a light to medium roast, he protects the varietal’s volatile aromatics while allowing sweetness and texture to open naturally. His philosophy — a blend of European precision and Vietnamese intuition — ensures the coffee’s inherent elegance remains intact.

The Essence — A Quiet Luxury That Stays With You

Gesha Peru opens with jasmine-like aromatics and soft stone-fruit sweetness carried on a silky, weightless texture. Its finish is long, clean, and quietly resonant — a cup that invites presence rather than intensity. For those who savor nuance, Gesha Peru offers an honesty and emotional depth that endures well beyond the final sip.
